In the distance I can see the storm clouds coming my way,
And I need to find a shelter
Before it starts to rain,
So I turn and run to you Lord;
You're the only place to go,
Where unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most.

Chorus
You're my hiding place;
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide;
Lord, in You I find my hiding place.

I'm not asking You to take away
My troubles, Lord,
'Cause it's through the stormy weather
I learn to trust You more.
And I thank You for Your promise;
I have come to know
Your unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most.

[Chorus:]

So let Your people seek You
While You may be found,
'Cause You're our only refuge
When the rain comes pouring down.

[Chorus:]

Looking at the lyrics of the song, it's not hard to believe Steven Curtis Chapman wrote this song after a fire destroyed his home. It's about how whatever may happen to your earthly home, God will always take care of you if you trust in Him. An important line is "I'm not asking you to take away my troubles, Lord". God actually sends us the exact problems he knows will help us grow and learn. In the middle of a lot of these trials, it can be hard to see how it's actually supposed to help you. But in the end, you can usually look back at tough times and see how what has happened has taught you something or prepared you for something.
